Travelers Tips

The essentials for your road trip in Morgan’s auto

During spring and summer, we advise you to bring your favourite sunglasses, sunscreen and a well-fitting cap or hat you can tie. In cooler seasons, bring warm clothing so that you can still enjoy an open roof and the rays of the sunshine. When you book your getaway, you’ll receive a practical guide with all our advice for your stay in Burgundy.

We provide a kit including two bottles of water, a cleaning product for glasses and a plaid for the passenger. We advise to leave long headscarves and scarves at home for safety reasons.

During your journey, you will travel in a line of no more than 7 vehicles, accompanied by your guide in his Morgan. The simple rules of safety and common sense will be explained to you by your guide on arrival. Just like the horses under the bonnet, your pets can be part of the journey.

Yes, our concept is that you don’t have to worry about a thing, your guide manages the itinerary, your pace, the visits, the lunches and your desires…

The “Great Burgundy” Escapade includes 2 nights in a star-rated hotel. If you wish to stay in two different hotels, simply let us know when you make your booking request.

As long as they don’t drive and respect the basic rules (seatbelts, etc.), they are perfectly welcome and will have a great time with their hair blowing in the wind… We have a 4-seater Morgan.

The Morgan can accommodate up to two people, so if you’re on your own it may be possible as long as your pet is used to being transported.

Everything can be customised. Seminars, conventions, team building, groups of friends, families… We’ll adapt to your needs! Don’t hesitate to contact us to define your project so that we can best meet your expectations.

As indicated in the previous point, everything can be customised. All you have to do is tell us what you want and we’ll look at it together.

Let’s not forget that our Morgans come from a country famous for its frequent rain. All you have to do is switch back on, and when the rain stops you can easily remove the soft top and get back into your convertible, all the while retaining your ‘so British’ phlegm, and you’re on your way.

Wine tasting

The parcels of vines are called “climat” in Burgundy and express a geological terroir and a situation depending on whether they are placed on a slope or with a particular exposure. Burgundy wines are classified in 4 categories, regional appellation Bourgogne, Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru. In the Yonne they extend geographically from Chablis to Irancy, passing through the Tonnerrois, the Jovinien and the Grand Auxerrois.

We suggest you try a Morgan while visiting Chaix and its authentic vineyards to meet talented winemakers. 

If you fall under the spell of one of these nectars, we can handle the logistics of your orders for delivery to your home.
